Hedrick. The three-story rectangular building is faced in brick and stone, with a slate roof of intersecting gambrel-type gables. Its facades follow a three-part Palladian pattern. The north side has projecting end pavilions, while the south side has a projecting entrance block with a column-supported portico. Brick quoins, voussoirs, keystones and applied classical motifs complete the design. The hall borders the entry to the campus and forms the west side of the dormitory quadrangle. Its interior was remodeled in 1964 by Collings and Dryden, and its condition is recorded as good. It was listed as part of a group of Georgian Revival buildings at the university. The nomination values it as a good southwestern example of Georgian Revival architecture within a planned academic setting, with significance in both architecture and education.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Wyatt C.
